Paraíba do Sul
The river runs broad and slow through town, with islands and sandbars in its channel. It is the defining shape of the poster and divides the town into two banks.

The map
São Fidélis grew up on the Paraíba do Sul, the great river of northern Rio de Janeiro state. The river shapes everything on the map. It sweeps through town in a broad channel dotted with sandbanks and islands. The older streets line up along its banks, and a bridge ties the two sides together.
The town began in 1781 as a mission of Capuchin friars, who named it after Saint Fidelis of Sigmaringen. The large mother church they built still dominates the centre. Around it, hills rise quickly from the valley floor, so the street pattern climbs and curves away from the water.
A São Fidélis map poster gives the river the room it needs. The wide channel runs across the frame, the denser streets of the centre sit beside it and roads wind outward into the hilly country. The drawing reads as a portrait of a town that has always faced its river.
The river runs broad and slow through town, with islands and sandbars in its channel. It is the defining shape of the poster and divides the town into two banks.
The oldest streets and the mother church sit close to the water. They form a compact, regular core, with blocks stepping back from the riverbank.
Away from the river, the streets turn and climb with the terrain. Their curving lines contrast with the straight banks along the valley floor.

Why São Fidélis
São Fidélis is a place people carry with them: the river, the church square and the bridge. A map of the town works well as a gift for someone who moved to Rio or further away and still thinks of the Paraíba as their river.
Personalise the title, add a subtitle with a name or a year, and adjust the coordinates line. Then choose Classic black & white, Noir, Paper, Blueprint or Sand to suit the room.
